473ml can from the brewery. Clear copper pour, small white head. Aroma of a pile of spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, with a subtle cranberry tartness and some berry sweetness. Carb is medium, mouthful is solid. Finish is quite malty, lots of pale malt, turning to caramel malts, with a spicy, pumpkin pie finish. The Cranberry disappears, and turns to a vinegar sourness as the beer warms. What a mess of a beer.

This lager poured a nice amber colour with a creamy tan head. Scents include cream, fruit jam, malts and gravy? First swig was smooth and a little watery for the mouthfeel. Flavors of malt most prominent with a little bit of cranberry fruity Ness into the background. Finish is sweet with a light hoppy bitterness...

A golden lager with a very thin off white head. In aroma, light biscuit malt with faint grassy hops, light mineral notes, light berries, so-so. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with light berries, butterscotch notes, no hops, boring. On tap at Arrow and Loon.

Fine can from the LCBO. Amber, with a little bit of haze. Aroma has a touch of cranberry and some crackery character. Similar, sort of bland character but with a touch of tartness. Not into this one.

Comes in their Holiday Gift Pack for Christmas 2014 (with 2 other cans of different beer and a glass). Pours a clean amber colour with a warm cap, decent retention and some foamy lace. Diacetyl aromas with lots of caramel over the weak fruity background. No cranberries at all in the taste. At least, no diacetyl in here. Just mostly cereal grains. Very, very light sweet-sourness in the finish. Cranberries... really ?!?? Just a regular cereal brew.
